Description: | A copper alloy lock bolt which dates from the Roman period. The bolt is sub rectangular but is broken across the openings. The complete end is flat and rectangular with file marks evident on the upper face. Half way along the bolt becomes thicker at the sides and the centre contains three complete holes, on D shaped and two sub-triangular. The other two visible holes are at the broken end and are damaged. The break is worn and patinated. The reverse is flat. The bolt is 46.7mm long, 14.2mm wide and 5.8mm thick. The metal has an even dark grey patina. A similar example of a bolt from a Roman lock can be seen in Bishop (1996) on page 77. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
